Chadwick Boseman Is Over Saying ‘Wakanda Forever,’ According To Michael B. Jordan

Right after Chadwick Boseman picked up the Golden Popcorn trophy for Best Hero at the MTV Movie & TV Awards, Black Panther's *other* Wakandan king scored a big win of his own.


Michael B. Jordan — who played the detailed antagonist Erik Killmonger in the Marvel blockbuster — beat out fellow nominees Josh Brolin (Avengers: Infinity War), Adam Driver (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), Aubrey Plaza (Legion), and Bill Skarsgard (IT) to earn the coveted Best Villain prize at the show, which aired Monday night (June 18).


"I'm shocked that I won this award for Best Villain. I thought for sure Roseanne had that inside the bag Jordan quipped in his acceptance speech. Nevertheless in all seriousness, I'd like to thank all of the fans that came out to support this movie. It took a lot to get into this character, so I'm glad that you guys enjoyed the role as much as I did, playing Kilmonger."


The actor capped his speech with a hilarious request on behalf of his Black Panther co-star: "Oh, and one more thing: Chadwick Boseman personally invited me to ask y'all to stop asking him to mention 'Wakanda forever,'" Jordan mentioned, while Boseman laughed in the audience. "Y'all taking the 'forever' thing a little bit also seriously!"


Oh, MBJ... You could try all you want, nevertheless as long as Black Panther is around, "Wakanda forever" will never, ever die.
